Popular Post Compass Posted October 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2021 This may be the strangest piece of gold "jewelry" that I have found. The "medal" is stamped "9k" on one side. The other side has a name and blood type. The chain clasp is stamped "18ct" and it took me about 30 minutes to untangle the knots in the chain. When I was done I was happy to have a completely intact and beautiful neck chain but I noticed a very small piece of what looked like fabric stuck in a couple of adjacent links. I used fingernail clippers to carefully clip off the fabric before realizing that it was a piece of thread used to replace a broken link - Doh! It's a delicate chain but weighs a respectable 2.4 grams. The medal itself is odd and a bit ugly on its own. I wonder if there was more to it at one time? 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valens Legacy Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Nice find, I believe that the medallion was a nice find with the 18carat gold chain to boot. What medical issues did the person have if any. Good luck on your next hunt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locator Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Would have been my guess, too, Strick. Searched for dog tag and wiki came up with some nice thing, but no gold at all. Would not make sense that a finder would store it in his/her pants 😉😁. (the curse of the gold) Anyway, a nice unique piece of jewelry. Congrats, Compass.👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
